Gray Gibson

Owner

Gray comes from a background in Yachting, both the competitive side and the commercial. He was a member of the NZ Olympic Team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and has competed in many World & International Events worldwide. He also worked in Sailmaking for many years, both here in New Zealand and in Asia for 10 years.

As a consequence he has travelled to many parts of the world, and as well as loving seeing new places always enjoyed organizing the trips and all that comes with that. He has also sailed over 100,000 miles on the open ocean including 2 Pacific Ocean crossings including Alaska. 10 years living in Asia and extensive sailing in that area make him somewhat of an expert on the region.

You can see from our own store website mondotakapuna.nz there is an emphasis on all things to do with the water. He says he still gets excited driving to the airport, whether it is a trip to Wellington or to Europe.

Dianne Tosland

Managing Director

I have been in the Travel Industry for the better part of 20 years – goodness how times flies! I have travelled extensively to UK & Europe, Middle East, Africa, India, Canada, many Pacific Islands as well as throughout Australia. I am passionate about travel, and love to explore the world in all of its many facets - it's history, it's culture, it's varied scenery, and the mixture of its traditions, to give myself a better understanding of the world, And I try very hard to make sure that our clients get everything out of their trip that they were wanting, and they were expecting.

Travelling excites me today just as much as it did when I was first lucky enough to land my dream job as a travel agent in 2007. I love to explore and learn about new destinations and share my experiences with my clients. I pride myself in putting in the extra effort to ensure clients travelling experiences are enjoyable. I love to encourage people to travel to new and exciting destinations that they sometimes wouldn’t have ever dreamed of travelling to. I have travelled to America, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bali, Vietnam, Rarotonga & Aitutaki, Fiji, Tahiti, extensively throughout Australia many times & cruised with P&O. They say if you have the passion and do what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life!

I love to sell travel through my experiences! I have been in the industry for coming up 5 years now, and love it! I have travelled to America, Singapore, Canada, Thailand, Australia, Fiji, Noumea, Bali and just returned from doing an amazing tour in Vietnam. My favourite part of the job is to hear feedback either good or bad as it helps me sell it forward.

I am new to the Travel Industry, and I have learned a lot about Travel in such a short time. I have enjoyed the challenges I have come across, and I have loved every minute of it. I have travelled to a number of destinations which includes Thailand, Malaysia, many Pacific Islands and many places throughout Australia. My passion for travel made my decision to enter the Industry an easy one, as I love learning about what the world has to offer, as well as their culture, food and the history of each destinations I visit. I want all my clients too have the same wonderful experience as I would when I go away, and I pride myself in tailoring a holiday to suit each individual needs and I like adding my personal touch.

With 35 years in the Travel industry, I was fortunate enough to spend 5 years living in Italy travelling extensively throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

Next, with the infamous Pan Pacific Travel Company and returned to Christchurch to re-learn the New Zealand travel industry.

I also have an addiction to cruises and the unique experiences each cruise can give you. To date I have completed 25+ cruises, and like all cruises addicts have another one already booked . So if you are thinking of dipping your toes into the world of cruising as a first timer please talk to me as there isn’t many questions I can’t answer for you, and if you are an experienced cruiser I would love to just share a coffee and exchange stories.

Mondo Dunedin

My travel agent life began in 1969. Then the major travel to UK and Europe was by sea, so I have been selling berths on ships since then. The days of NAC as our domestic carrier before Air NZ took over. The coming of the 747 which saw the demise of the line voyages of all the major shipping companies.

My passion has always been sea voyaging and cruising, and of course now it also includes self drive canal boats, and river boats. River boat cruising in Europe, Asia and America.

I cover all the major cruise companies and if there is anywhere in the world that has a boat floating on it, then I can probably get you a cabin. Budget to 5 star there is always a cruise to suit your mood or budget.

Booking the correct cruise will see you get great value for your money and a very nice holiday.

My other great passion is rail travel, and I see this as good compliment to cruising as they both allow you space to relax and enjoy the travelling.

If being on water is not your thing then I also offer you land based holidays, coach touring and adventure style travel
